Filling Station

Very nice place with a good atmosphere. The Highlander Burger is nice and juicy (definitely recommended). Unfortunately the selection of food and dish for kids are not perfect. My son’s margarita looked like a drought with some ketchup and cheese. The service is top class always smiles and helpful. Big selection of drinks Thank You

Smashed avocado on toast was special and delicious. The combination worked well to boost up my appetite. 4 stars

Royale egg just mediocre. Nothing special. 2 stars

No queue time for table at 9am..serving within 10 minutes upon ordering

We were in Edinburgh for one night for my husband’s birthday but didn’t prebook anywhere to eat so we just went for a wander. When he saw the Filling Station he was keen to go in as he had been to one in past years in Stirling (I believe that one closed).

I admit that I was a bit “meh” about it but as it was his choice we went in. Friendly greeting and busy atmosphere but still plenty of tables at 7:45pm on a Thursday.

My husband chose the Filling Station double stack and I had the smoked brisket burger. Both came with fries and we ordered a side of onion rings and a side of salad. The salad was fresh, crisp and what you would expect. The onion rings were, to be honest, a bit bog standard. Think of your average supermarket onion ring in batter but they were fine. The burgers though… Well that’s where the 5* review comes in! They were phenomenal.

My husband is a bit of a burger fiend and he said he couldn’t remember the last time he had a burger that juicy & that full of flavor. I had to agree with him. Mine was fantastic. It was finger licking delicious and worth every messy dribble down the chin! If I had one suggestion it’s to ask for extra napkins before you tuck in!

Its an American dinner. Been here on The Royal Mile for a good amount of years. That means, whatever they’re doing, they’re doing well.

I’d say, great for kids, first dates, and mates. Not a romantic venue so much.

One has to come and eat here. The staff is friendly and the food it’s marvellous. The place it’s huge.
Very clean and has a lot of sport history on the walls.
Food came surprisingly quickly and perfectly done
Well done to all the team
